The summit of Galtymore is marked as Dawson's Table. Captain Dawson was a landowner in this area (Tipperary Directory 1889). Cf. Percy's Table on Lugnaquillia. The diarist Amhlaoibh Ó Súilleabháin (Humphrey O'Sullivan) recorded a different Irish name for the peak: Beann na nGaillti (Cinnlae Amhlaoibh Ó Súilleabháin, iv, 102). The names of three nearby places are derived from this: Glencoshnabinnia (PWJ, iii, 366), Slievecoshnabinnia and Carrignabinnia. The anglicised name Galtymore is recorded as early as the Civil Survey of Co. Tipperary (Down Survey, 1654-56), where it is mentioned (spelt exactly as today) as a boundary feature of the barony of Clanwilliam.
Galtymore is the highest mountain in the Galty Mountains area and the 14th highest in Ireland. Galtymore is the highest point in county Limerick and also the highest in Tipperary.Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/14/?PHPSESSID=l6pt2n1nv3qkarc0psmuc4hav2

Pic taken from the col between Galtymore and Galtybeg, where it felt like a balmy 10 degrees or so. At the summit however the wind chill made it feel like -10 degrees and there were still patches of snow even though it's almost May. On the way down I met two youths ascending with no rucksacks, garbed in only in jeans, trainers and hoodies. Some people just wont be told. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/14/comment/3058/
